Best Answer

Hummingbirds, the tiniest feathered creatures in the world, have wing-beats so fast that they appear as hazy as an airplane propeller in motion. Analysis of slow-motion pictures indicate that these wing beats may be as fast as 50 to 75 times per second.

The male club winged manikin has a wing beat as high as 100 per second- hummingbirds are typically about 50 per second. The Manikin uses the very high speed as a courting manuever, and not for regular flight.
